If your heart skips a beat when you look at Harry, don’t worry he’s got plenty to go round. The 27 year old star has discovered there is something funky going on with his heart as a result of his hardcore training for the marathon. Oh, and the 13 mile 'bog, electricity and fire crossing' assault course he’s running two weeks later. Yikes.

Hardly surprising then his body is feeling the strain but he insists: "It's nothing to worry about but just means I have to chill out a bit :-/"

The condition isn’t too dangerous, but has upset the rhythm of his heart with missing and extra beats. The Strictly champ said of it: "So I've acquired an ectopic heart beat through excessive exercise. It's known as a Wandering Pacemaker commonly seen in athletes....it's really annoying!!!”

Harry decided to use the opportunity to rally more donations for the huge race saying: "It proves I've even pushing as hard as possible for the marathon + if u've been thinking of sponsoring me then surely that will [persuade] u?"

And fair enough because he’s putting his rippling new body through its paces in the name of not one, but two jolly good causes: the marathon, for Teenage Cancer Trust and the assault course for his brother in law's charity the Eyes Alight appeal, in aid of The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT).

Then there’s that other charity… womankind, who have been receiving generous donations in the form of these extremely buff pictures of him.
